AWC I agree with you to an extent, but if the same people can message you or a writer and critique or give suggestions why can't they tke the extra 1 minute to post that in a review or reply?, when you consider some stories that are a "series" or have a lot of chapters, or return characters so on, it can take a writer hours, a day a week or more, so as a common courtesy a simple  "hey maybe you can add....." shouldn't be a burden , if the people here want these stories shouldn't they show they appreciate it even a simple "Nice Job", as for how or what scene plays in a writers eye, all that does is develope the whats to come and how it gets there and adds the feel for it, but if a fan of a writer wants more a little feed back goes a long way more than in private, as for sexual fetish, or fantasy or any of that, its a give in anything people do behing closed doors or in their mind is not always a reality, so the internet only has a bearing on those who think if its on a web page its real, these same people fall into believing that Olivia Benson is really a ciop in NYC, no matter hpw you look at what style fight or meet characters go into the writer either does it as  entertainment or experience applied to that same entertainment , the reader is the one becoming enveloped in the scene and story, picturing the characters which make the it, the scene , the scenario, the emotions, the tensions, so on without any of that it is just balble and some like that obviously

agree that you can do in public...just saying it can be public or private...just saying in public "awesome" is really not engaging the writer is the point....thats better than nothing at all but obviously a little more about what was awesome etc is great...

yet another example with the publication of the latest match on the AWC website...hundreds of people looking and almost no response on the forum....

Sigh. All too familiar!

Paradoxically the presence and existence of social media are mostly at fault. As the site is predominantly English, and presumably mostly white, participants come from well-established consumer societies where articles can be bought with a click, but without a need for a feedback. This conditioned behavior makes people forget, that they aren't actually a fetishist minority, but just another schmo at a large retailer.

P.S.: Then, of course, there's also the fact that due to sociocultural differences and available time, women are more prone to leave more insightful feedbacks, only its current form of supply and demand, they're not the target demographic.

Crimsonrash has one of my favorite stories on the site. Harpua13 wrote several of my favorites. But as far as being both prolific and talented DottiD and Mr. Cage are probably my top two. Also Augur and Jon Grey have great stories but the BFS universe is so expansive I feel like I need a refresher course every time they put out a new one.

Also, luffy16 is great. Most of his stories aren’t my thing but he’s a very good writer.

Im not just saying this because they are on this thread or because they're good friends, but because I mean it...

Markus and AWC are two of the best in different ways.

Im very selective with who I write with and Ive never been disappointed by either of them. Both tasteful, creative, respectful, and intelligent. Ive had nothing but fun so I hope my participation in their stories and collaboration with them helps bring their work to a bigger audience and gives them the feedback they relish. It saddens me when it doesnt...is it asking a lot? They could easily have a Patreon, they are good enough, but they do this for free for the boards entertainment.

So if you have a favorite writer, support them! Constructive criticism, praise, whatever. Its he least we can do!

[beautifulsouth]

This is a pretty good assessment. There are all kinds of writers here for many different flavors....and attention spans. 

Sure Lady FyreCracka, my flavor was repeatedly hit by your stories also my attention span was not overstrained, thank you for that

[Markus Wolf]

I'm reading this extremely belatedly but thank you for the very kind words

HalHow and Sidekick the best

Lots of great writers here, but I didn't see anybody mention Segano (maybe spelled Sega or Seganor).
Good thread, thanks.

Replying to Celina's post, with apologies for any shifting of focus:

How dare you, Celina, bring your parochial, Dutch prejudices into this.  I'll have to whip your bottom and watch your long legs thrash yet again for that.

You know I had expressed my opinion before on this topic and you should honor it or pay the price !

There are many great writers on this site, and all of you receive our thanks for your passion and your toil to bring these stories to us.  We may not say it on an ongoing regular basis, but THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE WRITERS HERE. 

As to the "best" on this site, that is obviously subjective, as one person's "great" is another person's "yawn".  I like a longer story, both for the fight scene itself and the set-up to why the fight is happening and the reasons and emotions behind the battle.   Finally, I like a competitive, back and forth battle and not a domination from start to finish. 

My current favorites would be (in no particular order), Anna the Marine Chick, Sidekick, and AndrewScott as the most consistently enjoyable.  Also a couple nods to harpua13 (for the Luxana stoires), Jonica (for "A Clockwork Strawberry", maybe the best full story on the site), Catharsis (for "Homewrecker"), the late Braveheart (for his Sandbridge saga), and the Raven (who created probably the first great saga, Cat Scratch Fever and its sequel, Corporate Catfighting, over 20 years ago!--you will have to go elsewhere to find copies of his stories.)   The older writers (Howard Cossell, Pecavvi, The Scribbler, Gemma Rox, Jonica, Laurie Breeze, and many others) are also well worth your efforts to dig back into the archives and find their great work as well. 

Once again, thank you to all the writers here.

One of the best parts of this thread are the posts like this. They it's a great way to find writers that I wasn't aware of previously. I would also like to echo Coachzzz's sentiments about thanking the writers for their time and work. I know it takes me forever to write my much shorter stories and I can only imagine how much work a lot of you guys put into your much longer tales... not to mention, how much detail and creative skill you put into them. As a hobbyist writer, I not only enjoy your stories for what their entertainment value, but use them to help me to become better at writing stories myself.

Thank you so much for remembering me! I wish I had more time to continue writing, but life got real busy and working 55-60 a week isn't good for time to write. Someday, I'll get back in the game!
